Giving
Every gift, no matter the size, allows Charleston Collegiate to invest in the education of students whose creativity, confidence, and intellect will shape the world around them.
Like all independent schools, we depend on a combination of tuition and the generosity of our community to meet both day-to-day needs and long-term goals.
Every gift helps support the people and programs that make CCS extraordinary—from our dedicated faculty and small class sizes to hands-on learning in the arts, outdoor education, entrepreneurship, athletics, and beyond.
Why Give?
Tuition covers approximately 70% of the true cost of a CCS education.
To keep a Charleston Collegiate education accessible to a broader range of families, we intentionally set tuition below the full cost of educating each student. Philanthropic gifts bridge this gap and allow us to continue delivering an exceptional, mission-driven experience.
Thank you for supporting our students, teachers, and staff and for believing in the power of a CCS education.

Many companies match employee gifts to non-profit organizations. For example, if a donor gives $5,000 to CCS, a matching gift company will also give $5,000 to CCS. Contact your employer’s human resource office to find out the necessary steps to submit a match request; then forward the appropriate forms or log-in information with your gift to CCS.
